DPP Thank Gods It's Friday! All Things Music

[apodixis.livejournal.com]

The music of BSG was (and always will be) one of my favorite things about the show. We got something extremely special from the relationship between Battlestar and Bear McCreary, something that isn't often seen in television. While I can think of a few other shows that ended up with beautiful scores, by and large, most television shows are completely lacking in that department. So instead of talking just about Kara and Lee, we're talking specifically about Kara and Lee and music. Hold on tight, because this one's kind of a multi-parter.

What pieces from the soundtracks remind you specifically of Kara and Lee? Why?

What non-soundtrack songs make you think of our two pilots?
Do you have 'go-to' songs when writing/reading certain types of fics?
For the writers, have any songs/albums inspired scenes/parts/whole fics?

Other thoughts: When did you first notice the music in the show? Most bad-ass music + Kara and/or Lee moment? Favorite BSG clip video set to music on youtube? Any time the music fell short for you? On a scale of 1 to Kara Thrace, how awesome was Bear McCreary's All Along the Watchtower cover? Does anyone want to start that Kara Thrace & Her Special Destiny cover band with me?

And yes, this post totally requires the heavy use of youtube. Link/embed away!

Hey all. Just a quick reminder that we'll be watching Six Degrees of Separation tonight at 8PM EST.

Unfortunately, I won't actually be able to watch with you *sobs* AND THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE EPISODES OF THE WHOLE SHOW. But I've had something come up this evening. If anyone else would like to pinch hit and run it, that would be fabulous! But if not, I can put up the post at 7:30 and let you all go at it without me.

Have fun with Gaius being insane and pilots being shippy!! (I really am pretty upset I won't get to watch it with you guys.)
